With over 100 million pounds of equipment recycled, 2007
marked a new record for Dell as the year with the largest
product recycling volume - a 20 percent increase from 2006.
Dell marked the one-year anniversary of its commitment to
be the greenest
technology company on the planet by reporting the
company’s largest single-year product recycling volume, becoming
the first major computer manufacturer to offer Silver 80 PLUS-certified
power supplies and demonstrating significant progress in its
global zero-carbon initiative.
“Our customers and stakeholders are inspiring us to lead
a new era of environmental responsibility” - said Tod Arbogast,
director of sustainable business for Dell. “We are at a historic
point in time when the combined efforts of companies, customers,
employees and suppliers will make the critical changes to
protect our shared Earth.”
Dell reported recovery of 102 million pounds of IT equipment
from customers during 2007, a 20 percent increase over 2006.
The company also continues to lead the industry in setting
responsible recycling standards - including minimisation of
landfill globally, no export of waste and regular third-party
audits of materials disposition. Dell remains the only major
computer manufacturer to offer free recycling for consumers
worldwide.
Dell remains focused on helping customers meet their own
efficiency goals by working to provide products with the most
performance per watt. Since 2005, the company’s client desktop
systems, alone, have helped customers save more than $2.5
billion and avoid approximately 24 million tons of CO2.
